Description

Overview

3D printing is a process that creates a three-dimensional object by building successive layers of raw material. Each new layer is attached to the previous one until the object is complete. It is a type of additive manufacturing of objects which are produced from a digital 3D file, such as a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing or a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI).

This webinar on 3D printing will cover FDA's expectations regarding the design, manufacture, testing and approval of 3D printed medical devices.
